Valentine's White Chocolate Strawberry Bark
This Valentine's white chocolate strawberry bark has always been my go-to. It's creamy, sweet, slightly tangy from the strawberries, and it looks like it took way more effort than it actually did! If you need a quick Valentine's snack, this recipe is perfect! It melts together in a few minutes and sets into an eye-catching pink-and-white treat that feels special without being complicated.
Servings: 15 servings
Ingredients
- 2 10 ounce bags Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers
- drops pink or red gel food coloring (do not use liquid)
- heart shape candy (I used Ghirardelli creme brulee hearts)
- 1 bag freeze dried strawberries (you won't use the entire bag)
- sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Add the wafers to a large microwave safe bowl. In short burst microwave the white chocolate wafers according to the package directions, stirring in between each interval until the white chocolate is completely smooth.
- Use a spatula to spread the white chocolate in an even layer about a ¼ inch thick over a parchment lined cookie sheet. Have your add-ins ready to work quickly as the chocolate will firm quickly.
- If using the food gel, use a tooth pick to stir the color into the chocolate. You only need very small drops for this because the color is much more concentrated than liquid. (Do not use liquid because it is too watery and will ruin the chocolate).
- Next add the candy hearts, strawberries and sprinkles. To make sure the candy and strawberries stick you can gently press into the chocolate. I like to crush one strawberry to create dust to sprinkle over the bark as well.
- Set aside to cool. This may take around 30 minutes.
- Once the bark is set, use a sharp knife to cut into irregular pieces.
